IRELAND's LAST APPEAL.

President Fitzgerald, from the head.
quarters of the Irish National League
at Lincoln, Nebraska, has issued stir.
ring address In which he calls upon the
American PEOPLE in general and Irish.
Americans in particular, to raise voice
of solemn protest against the new meas.
urcs of coercion proposed for Ireland
by the Tory government of Great Brit.
ain.
A crisis seems to he imminent that
threatens the last vestige Of civil liberty
MS well as the las, hope Of legislative in
dependence for that ''his'ressluI coln.
try" Every legitimate means should
he employed to avert So great a calamity
and the grave consequences which It's
consummation might involve to the
peace Of England.
In the language uf the address,
"therc is no law, human or divine, that
conn els nation to pnss!vrly accept
annihilation" Hence it follows logi.
cal'y that, "if nothing will satisfy the
British Government bat the destruction
of the Irish people, ireland will be
justified, before God aud man, in selling
her life ut the heaviest price she can
obtain, Hnd In using every weapon the
ingenuity Of man can place within hes
reach"
There Is no mistNkiuE the signitic clnce
Of tlis portion of the address, and
nothing could be more unfortunate for
the interests of civilization than the
precipitation of such reign of terror
as Mr.. Fitzgerald here foreshadows.
But we doubt If things come to such
pass. There is an extremity of oppres.
sion TO which the opponents of Glad
stone, Parnell aud llomc Rule will
scarcely venture, even with Arthur
Balfour, the Chief Secretary for Ire
land, in their lead. The address says,
on the authority of Mr.. Parnell that
1.-THE immediate future will be time
Of suffering for the Irish people" but,
with Gods help, the time will not be
long"
So far as the sympathy of the Ameri-
can people is concerned, 1t has but
small effect upon the legislation of the
House Of Commons. Its influence Is
largely discounted in the British Cabi.
net. Genuine and sincere as this sym.
pathy may be, 1t is difficult 10 convince
the average Engllshman that it is not
of a semi political character and pro.
mulgated more for home than foreign
consumption. Yet II cannot be ques.
toned that the great body of the peo.
pie of this country are honest and de.
voted flieuls TO the Irish cause.
That they will literally respond to
President Fiizgeralds appeal for iinan.
cial aid gees without saying. The
Irish. Americans have never failed Ia
hear and answer the cries Of distress
that come mp from their landlord
ridden and impoverished oountrymer
at home. They will do so now. There
will be no lack of money TO save tn,
victims of rapaclty from starvation
but the day of their political enamel
patton cannot he foretold, twill CONT
whenever the English Democracy have
become strong enough To throw of the
Tory yoke, and not before.

evening, by General George A. Sherl-
dan, will be the intellectual event of
the season. The General is profound

Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, shows

The citizens committee have laid on
the LIGHT table their pamphlet" In
which they set forth the advantages OF
the city as q winter resort and the In
ducements offered to home seekers. The
pamphlet answers the purpose OF Its
creation probably as well as any pro-
duction ofits kind could. 1t lisa plain
unvarnished statement Of what every
one who has visited San Antonio will
willingly concede to be facts, and the
only objection that can be urged against
it 10 that such presentations are so little
read. 1t is sincerely to be desired that
this one will prove an exception, as the
nd vsntages OF this locality as a winter
resort, AS a home for invalids, as an
opening for productive capital, as the
garden spot OF the state, can scarcel be
0verestimsted. The pamphlet contains
very much that is Interesting and en-
tertaining and may answer for begin
ming, but AS the LIGHT has held from
the very first, II still holds that through
the columns Of the city and metropoli-
tan press alone will the real situation
In San Antonio be made known to those
at the east and north whom il is desired
to interest In this city, and who would
embrace its climatic advantages at any
cost II they were only thoroughly In
formed concerning them.
